Quality Of Eating

Evidence associates scholastic performance to quality of eating habits. However, there is limited information on this topic in Turkey, an emerging economy with notable disparities. Our work aimed to evaluate the effect of eating habits quality of high-school students in Turkey, on the Scholastic Aptitude Standardized Examination (TEOG) scores. The study was conducted in 29 different cities in Turkey during the academic year 2016–2017, involving students of ages 14–17 years (up to senior-high school). A dietary habits survey developed and validated for this population was distributed over the internet in February 2017. Apart from students’ TEOG scores, Family Affluence Score (FAS) was used to categorize the students into low, medium, and high financial standing. Eating Habits Score (EHS) was calculated by using a validated scoring system. A working sample of 298 participants was used. Based on our results, we observed that there is a significant positive correlation between EHS, FAS and success rate of students as assessed by TEOG scores. Further research on this subject should be conducted in combination with intervention studies to reveal potential strategies and policies that would enhance positive behavior change as it relates to nutritional habits, aiming at improved scholastic performance and overall health throughout lifespan.

Non Motor Symptoms

Parkinson’s disease is a complex slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder with motor and non-motor symptoms affecting daily living. Despite effective symptomatic treatments, with various degrees of side effects, no disease-modifying therapeutic options presently exist. Symptoms progress, with an accumulating burden, reducing the quality of life and forming the impression that medications are no longer effective. Adopting positive lifestyle behaviours can empower patients, improve the quality of life, alleviate symptoms, and potentially slow disease progression. Lifestyle behaviours including nutrition, cognitive enrichment, physical activity, and stress management have beneficial effects on brain health and quality of life. While some evidence of an association of lifestyle with Parkinson’s disease risk and progression exists, the sparse and often conflicting data make it difficult to provide clinical recommendations. Herein, we highlight studies showing promising associations between lifestyle and Parkinson’s disease. Given the increasing aging of populations worldwide and the prevalence of neurological disorders, further research into self-management through adoption of positive lifestyle behaviours is clearly warranted to better enable individualized care.

Introduction: People with schizophrenia have poor cardiometabolic health, with elevated 10-year cardiovascular disease risk (CVD-R) scores and poor quality of life (QOL). There is lack of understanding of these issues in early psychosis. Aims: To quantify CVD-R in people with early psychosis and profile their obesity prevalence, lifestyle behaviours and QOL. Secondary aim was to explore associations between lifestyle behaviours/treatment characteristics and CVD-R/QOL. Method:Baseline data from 81 RCT participants were used to profile cardiometabolic health risks (QRISK®3, BMI and waist circumference). Participants self-reported lifestyle behaviours and QOL. Relationships between modifiable treatment/lifestyle factors and QOL/CVD-R were explored using bivariate analyses. Results: Participants’ relative risk for CVD over 10 years was 1.93 times higher than healthy counterparts; 39% also had an obese BMI and physical QOL was poor. No significant associations were observed between CVD-R or QOL with treatment characteristics and lifestyle factors. Discussion: Despite positive lifestyle behaviours, participants had elevated CVD-R scores and poor physical health related QOL. Quantifying CVD-R with QRISK®3 may highlight the need for health promotion interventions. Implications for practice: Mental health professionals should be alert to elevated cardiometabolic health risks in early psychosis, particularly as these can occur in the context of relatively healthy lifestyle behaviours.

Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) comprises progressive and non-progressive phenotypes, both presenting with symptoms that may reduce quality of life (QoL). Lifestyle behaviours, including diet, exercise, and wellness activities, are associated with higher QoL, however little is known about differences by MS phenotype. We assessed associations between lifestyle behaviours and QoL, between progressive vs non-progressive MS. Methods Self-reported cross-sectional data from the iConquerMS study (n = 1,109) were analysed. Lifestyle behaviours were queried via tick-box options for diet-type, supplement use, and wellness activities; and physical activity via Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire. QoL was queried via Neuro-QoL. Linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, BMI, education, disability, and MS duration, was used to assess associations and moderation analyses to assess differences between MS phenotypes. Results Diet-type, physical activity, and wellness activities were associated with specific QoL subdomains. Only associations between diet and physical activity, with QoL subdomains, differed between phenotypes. Anti-inflammatory diets were associated with a 1.5-point increase in mobility in progressive MS. In non-progressive MS, high physical activity was associated with a 3.6-point decrease in depression, and a 4.2-, 2.3- and 3.0-point increase in positive affect, fine motor skills, and social participation, respectively. Conclusions Specific lifestyle behaviours were associated with QoL subdomains. Associations between diet and physical activity with QoL differed between MS phenotype. Key messages Specific lifestyle behaviours are associated with higher QoL. Lifestyle interventions for MS management should consider disease course.
